It's currently 11:30pm. I am 95% packed. My room is a disaster. I'm pretty sure my bags weigh more than 50 lbs each. I still have laundry to do. Annnnd I have to be at the airport for 4:30 A.M. Cool.
The past few days have been jam packed with visiting friends and family, running errands and procrastinating. To think that in just a few short hours, my life is going to totally change.
Boom.
Love love love,

One week to go!
This time next week, I'm going to be in the land of palm trees, sunshine. Living there. Full-time. What.
On Friday we had my family goodbye party. Let me tell you, I have the biggest, most fun, loving and caring family I could ever ask for. Between the BBQ, ice cream cake and sing-a-longs, I couldn't help but smile just thinking about how lucky I am to be a part of something so special.
And to top off the evening, my mom gave me the best gift I could ever ask for.
SHE MADE ME A T-SHIRT QUILT! Made with shirts dating back to when I was like, 6 years old. I maaay have cried like a baby when I opened the box. Its just so perfect. <3
Tonight, I went to Young Adults just like any other Tuesday. But when I entered Mark's house, SURPRISE! A goodbye party with cake! And hats! And princesses! And balloons! And weird conversations!
Thanks you guys. :)
The next week is just crazy busy with visiting people and packing! TIME IS GONNA FLY, KIDS.
Love, love, love,
Morgan

Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust
Are you scared?
Are you excited?
Are you sad?
Are you happy?
When people ask me these questions, I usually answer yes to all of them. Now that I have less than a month until I leave, a whole mix of emotions has me bouncing off walls with excitement, crying, and panicking about all the things I have yet to do.
I've never been a homebody, but I've never been a wanderer either. I often have people tell me that they'd love to live in a different country or city, anywhere far away from here. As for me, I'm content living in my hometown, surrounded by family, familiarity, and comfort. Sure, Orlando isn't that far away. Its still in North America. But the mere fact of moving away from my family, my friends, my job, my church, is sometimes terrifying.
Lately the main thing I've been worried about is putting my life on hold for a year. Am I being irresponsible for not going back to school? Am I running away only to work at a theme park? Am I giving up the opportunity of being in love? What if by going away, I'll lose my friends? These are the questions that have constantly been racing through my mind. But at the same time, utmost joy is taking up the other half of my heart.
I get to work at the happiest place on earth. I get to be a part of creating magic for kids. I get to make new friends from all over the world, and live and work with them. I get to see what its like to live away from home, discover new things about myself. I get to have as much fun as I choose. I get to start a new life. Though it may only be for a year, for a brief moment in time, I get to live a dream.
I don't know why God has led me to go at this time, as there are many things that seem to be going wrong. But as I've said before, His timing is perfect. And His plan is always better than our own.
This leaves me with a choice. Though we may not be able to choose what happens to us, or when; we can choose how we respond. I can choose to stay, and live my comfortable life, or I can take the leap, and live out this one-in-a-lifetime opportunity I've been given.The following verse is above the door in my room:
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, or discouraged. For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
So with a bit of pixie dust, and a whole lot of faith, I think I'm gonna be just fine. :)
Love love love,
Morgan

Disneyfying...
Well hello! My sincere apologies for not posting for awhile.
Nothing exciting has really happened since my last post. However, I did get my Police Check clear, and sent all my documents off to get my visa! I should be expecting it within the next few weeks, which is crazy to think about. I'll be living in Florida in just 2 months and 13 days!
While I've been waiting, Heather has inspired me to do some Disney DIYs (She has even made disney mugs! Whaaat!) So I made these:

While I've been waiting, Heather has inspired me to do some Disney DIYs (She has even made disney mugs! Whaaat!) So I made these:
All you need is 4 things! A letter of your choice (I got these from Michael's for 4.99), Modge Podge, a paint brush, and a picture book! (I got the books from a thrift store because I didn't want to destroy my own!) Cut out the pictures you want, and just glue on the letter to make a collage. And bippity boppity boo! LOL.
I also made a Disney binder to help keep me organized. (Cause Lord knows I need all the help I can get in that department.) I've been seeing it everywhere, such a brilliant idea! It has all of my required documents that I'll be needing once I get there.
In other news, Target is now closed. Still haven't really processed the fact that I'll never be in my office again, no more 7:30am start times, no more grown-up job chair. Craaaaay. Though, God is good and provided me with a job at LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics until I leave! Couldn't have asked for a better place to work. Everyone I work with is so much fun, its going to be so hard to leave them in June!
Also, if you haven't already, GO SEE CINDERELLA. It was so magical, they did an amazing job turning it into a live action film. :) She will always be my favourite Princess.
Love love love,
Morgan
Ps. Have courage, and be kind. ;)
AND FOR MY BESTEST FRIEND JOANNA, I'M GOING TO MISS YOU SO MUCH. BUT WE'RE GOING TO GO TO HARRY POTTER WORLD AND JURASSIC PARK TOGETHER WHEN YOU COME TO VISIT AND ITS GOING TO BE OFF DA CHANGG.
